Trump team faces mounting pressure as members of Congress allege that the deadly attack was unlawful

• Oscar Piastri: ‘I learned a lot about myself’ in the season

Lando Norris said he is proud of the way he went about winning his first Formula One world championship, stating after an emotional celebration with his McLaren team and family that he was glad he “won it my way”.
